[pct-l] Deer question?

[jerrygoller at backpackgeartest.org (Jerry Goller)]

People's risk assessment has always amazed me. They think nothing of
driving to the trail head, the most dangerous thing the average person
can do, but want to wipe out mountain lion population because of one
death. It makes no sense....

LOL..  Thanks.  

I ask the deer question to form a response, in another forum, that was 
discussing the recent mountain lion attacks in Cleveland NF.  They were
also of the 
conviction that mountain lions should be done away with.  

As far as I'm concerned, if you want to play and/or live in the
territory of 
the beast you should accept the fact you may be injured or killed.
